>>3371891The nikon vs canon debate is pedantic and useless.
That being said, Canon has Magic Lantern (a free open source firmware modification) which I installed on the t3is I borrowed from my college. I thought the features were cool (focus peaking etc.) so that made my decision over the d3100 very easy.
it's comforting to know that if I don't like something, I can theoretically write some lines of code to fix it (remap buttons etc.).
I had an rx100 for a while and I loved the IQ, but the focus-by-wire crap absolutely triggered my autism gene.There were two knobs mapped to focus and no knobs mapped to iso. These cameras are for people who can't handle the social ramifications of owning a DSLR. or hardware fetishists. check out that actuating flash thing
